The accommodation seemed rather basic. On my first night, the temperature in the room was very cold indeed as the radiators were barely lukewarm. I reported this to a member of staff the following morning at breakfast and was assured the matter would be investigated. The same problem occurred on my second night; the room was so cold the following...

Stayed here last night, Sat 21st as part of a family weekend. Booked the basic single- room 5 -see below! All reasonable but not outstanding. Thin partitions mean that noise is apparent from adjacent rooms. More alarmingly the toilet cistern in the en-suite still ran half the night!! Beware!

Visited for a meal for a large group of friends in the restaurant area.Really impressed with the service , quality of food and good selection of beers. Must admit living in Lewes I had tended to avoid visiting has I had heard food etc was overpriced. After our recent visit i will now have to pay a return visit.

A very cold day, with a splendidly warm welcome at the Dorset Arms.
Our family party of four adults enjoyed an excellent lunch.
Recommend the Dorset Sharing Plate for £12.50 as a starter.
Olives, grilled Mediterranean vegetables, humous, peppers, various salads, pita...really good selection for four of us.
Main meals all under £10, veggie or beef burgers, risotto, Fish +...

My partner and I stayed here for a local wedding. We had been recommended by the wedding party so booked.
The hotel is a pub really but a very nice one. Very oldy worldy furnished and a very warm welcome. In general the food and bar area was very nice.
The rooms were lovely. The bathroom was dated and had...

We were a little disapointed with our weekend that we booked here. The room was a little small (but admittedly at the time of booking the owner proposed a larger room at £10 extra per night) and very tired.
It was in need of touching up/redecorating and had a couple of problems such as the bathroom handle hanging off and...

Visited the Dorset for one night. Had a great night and the evening meal was nice proper home cooked food. The staff were really friendly and served you promptly and with a smile (which is a rare thing nowadays ). The breakfast was fantastic and set us up nicely for a day in Lewes.

We initially selected the hotel for the fact that they were having a music festival weekend 6th / 7th Sept
And one particular band were playing for the last time on Sat night !
But what a lovely place to arrive at ! set in the town of Lewes in East Sussex what a joy to have found this place....

The rooms aren't spectacular but then you wouldn't expect it at this price point. They are quite big and noise wasn't a problem after 11pm despite it being a pub. Very powerful showers which is always important. The breakfast was great with a massive full English of decent quality, didn't really need much lunch! Staff were very helpful and friendly....

We stayed Two nights at The Dorset last Friday and Saturday while in Lewes for a Wedding party and found the staff very welcoming and friendly. Our bedroom was large, with a comfortable bed, although it was only a standard size Double! There was lots of wardrobe space and heaps of drawers and even the bedside tables were a great...

The Dorset, a traditional pub with letting rooms, is located in the heart of historic Lewes and is ideal for walkers and cyclists travelling the South Downs Way. All our rooms are en suite, we have secure cycle storage facilities, a roaring fire during the winter months and a sun drenched patio in the summer.
Parking is also available in the large pay and display car park situated in between us and Harveys Brewery; its free after 5pm and all day on Sundays.
We look forward to seeing you....more less
